Challenge

When KirkpatrickPrice turned to us, two of their integral teams were in need of a director, creating an urgent demand for two mission-critical hires.

The COO was managing the Client Success team in the interim on top of her regular responsibilities. Before working with Jarvis, they had hired a Director of Client Success who left within a week of starting, and they were experiencing difficulty finding a replacement that was the right fit for the team.

Meanwhile, the company’s continued growth highlighted an urgent need for a Director of Audit Delivery, specifically one with a CPA certification to address a shortage of CPAs on the team.

Given our reputation and presence in the cybersecurity industry, Joseph Kirkpatrick, CEO, reached out, recognizing our specialization and proactive approach. Joseph put us in contact with the HR team and COO, and we began working exclusively with them on the two Director positions.

Within a month of engaging Hire With Jarvis, KirkpatrickPrice hired two Directors, offering immediate relief and strategic advantage to the team.

Solution

Hire With Jarvis working through our specialized Accounting and Finance Division understands the critical and urgent nature of these hiring needs, our team:

  • Understood the Team’s Needs: To tailor our approach for Kirkpatrick Price, we dove deep into understanding the job specifications through direct conversations with the client.
  • Screened for Quality: Keeping in mind the client’s desire for strong culture fits and reservations towards frequent job-changers, our screening process was rigorous. Our team prioritized candidates with solid job histories and took the time to understand the candidates’ values to ensure they aligned with KirkpatrickPrice’s values.
  • Consultative Approach: The two candidates we placed were not clear fits on paper. One didn’t come from the same industry background but had the desired skills and cultural fit KirkpatrickPrice was looking for. The other candidate had tremendous potential to grow into the Director role as they were currently managing a team of individuals that was not reflected on their resume. After advocating for these candidates to the hiring team, we all agreed to give them a shot at the opportunity.
  • Seamless Communication: What truly set our collaboration apart was the seamless communication with key stakeholders at Kirkpatrick Price. Mutual understanding and responsiveness ensured an agile interview process, tailored to the urgency of the client’s needs. Without this, the placements could not have been possible.

Outcome

Within a month of engaging Hire With Jarvis, KirkpatrickPrice hired two Directors, offering immediate relief and strategic advantage to the team.

With the Director of Client Success on board, the COO was freed from the additional responsibility of managing the client success team. The new Director of Client Success, coming from an enterprise background, is primed to steer the team towards the company’s growth aspirations.

Simultaneously, the newly-appointed Director of Audit Delivery is at the helm of one of KirkpatrickPrice’s main professional service offerings – leading a team of information security auditors.
